Okay, I'll download version 0.17 as soon as I can. Again, I don't know a lot about this kind of stuff but if I'm lucky I might help you find a bug or two. :)

Thanks TbbW! I have very little experience with sound handlers and this is exactly the kind of program I was looking for. Unfortunately, I also have very little experience working with FreeBasic programs that require multiple .bi files to run, so I don't know how to get your program to compile. :( W...

Chiming sounds when pressing Alt+char in higher screen modes

The following code works normally: ?"Press Escape to quit" while inkey$<>chr$(27) wend But when I run the same program in a higher screen mode, like screen 13 ?"Press Escape to quit" while inkey$<>chr$(27) wend And then press Alt + a letter or number, Windows makes a chime sound....

saving udts to a file?

Is there are a way to save all the variables stored in a user-defined type with a single WRITE command? Kinda like type playmate fname as string lname as string month as string year as integer end type dim shared girls(3) as playmate girls(1).fname="Lisa" girls(1).lname="Matthews"...

From what I understand (keep in mind I'm still a beginner when it comes to using dynamic memory allocation in FreeBasic), is this the proper way to ensure there won't be a memory leak? ' Variable Init. dim pointer1 as integer ptr ' Allocate some memory for an integer. pointer1=allocate(len(integer))...

If you forget to DEALLOCATE something allocated in FreeBasic

...is the block of memory reserved for the data lost forever, or is there a way to get that leaked memory back (rebooting the system, running some sort of test, etc.)?

Awww... so common shared doesn't automatically make a variable double even when it's passed. D'oh!

Here's my code: ' This program is supposed to delay for 1.5 seconds, but delays for two seconds instead. ' * * * Variable Init. * * * common shared oldtimer as double common ...

ON ERROR GOTOs are ugly. I prefer the try...catch blocks seen in other languages, but it requires OO. But FB is moving in that direction anyway; OO, that is. Completely disagree. ON ERROR GOTO is a lot easier to work with if you're not expecting your project to have a lot of errors in the first pla...

I don't use GOSUB anymore either, but I'm also with the GOSUB lovers. I love the compromise v1ctor implemented; as long as you're allowed to use the keyword and there aren't any quirky, unnecessary syntax changes that cause the keywords to lose their ease of use and comfortability, I'm okay with tha...
